With five Ligue 1 titles and three French Cups, winning has not been an issue for Mbappe in Paris.

Instead, it's the club's predictable demise in the latter stages of the Champions League which have frustrated a generation of PSG players headlined by the Frenchman.

Kylian Mbappe's transfer decision

The five-time Ligue 1 top scorer shook the Parisian side to its core when he announced he would not be renewing his contract with them beyond next season.

The news reignited speculation of a long-awaited switch to Real Madrid, 12 months after his proposed transfer was scuppered in the 11th hour by an eye-watering counter-offer by the French champions.

Reports from Marca have suggested that Mbappe's decision has likely angered several within the club who believed they had done enough to persuade him to continue at the Parc des Princes and the disclosure of Messi's comments will do little to temper the rage.
